The word ‘mantra’ comes from the root ‘man,’ to think, believe, imagine, suppose etc,’ and of course ‘man’ is the root of ‘manas’ mind. ‘Tra’ generally comes from the root ‘Trai’ which means ‘to protect, preserve, rescue,’ etc.

In that sense, mantra can mean ‘that which protects, preserves, or rescues the mind.’ So it does mean to liberate the mind, since to protect or rescue the mind is to liberate it from illusion. #HDGoswami #HDG

The only law of attraction I’m aware of is the law that Krishna teaches in the Gita: our actions produce fair consequences. I do not know of any other valid ‘law of attraction.’ The apparent evil of the ‘law of attration’ is that it seems to ignore moral qualifications. As Prabhupada put it, “first deserve, then desire.” #HDGoswami #HDG

We should not be proud, but we do have to rigorously maintain and defend the boundaries of Prabhupada’s institution, ISKCON. #HDGoswami #HDG

Prabhupada always emphasized that serving the message and the mission of the guru is a more advanced stage of Krishna consciousness. #HDGoswami #HDG

Prabhupada states that no one falls in two senses: 1. In the beginning of that story (Jaya Vijaya) 1.7.34, Yudhisthira says, “It seems unbelievable” to me that a pure devotee could be cursed to fall from Vaikuntha. So this story is not about choosing to leave the spiritual world, it is about being forced out by another. In that context Prabhupada says that no one falls. We should take Prabhupada’s comment in the story’s context, otherwise, what is it’s authority? 2. Prabhupada says no one falls in the sense that the material world is a prison within the spiritual world, so even now we are in the spiritual world. #HDGoswami #HDG

It is a fact that Krishna reciprocates with His devotees, and in that sense gives us what we ’deserve.’ On the other hand, Krishna is very merciful to reciprocate with us so generously, and the devotee also acts selflessly to help others. So there is deserving and also great kindness. They are paradoxical, not contradictory. #HDGoswami #HDG
